We use the intrinsic area to define a distance on the space of homothety classes of convex bodies in the $n$-dimensional Euclidean space, which makes it isometric to a convex subset of the infinite dimensional hyperbolic space. The ambient…
Recent progress on studies of the nanoscale mechanical responses in disordered systems has highlighted a strong degree of heterogeneity in the elastic moduli. In this contribution, using computer simulations, we study the elastic…
For solving the longstanding materials science problem of correlating elastic properties of a solid material to the formation of cracks we present a new general concept. This concept is applied to the technologically most important cracks…
We deal with the elastic scattering by a large number $M$ of rigid bodies, $D_m:=\epsilon B_m+z_m$, of arbitrary shapes with $ 0<\textcolor{black}{\epsilon}<<1$ and with constant Lam\'e coefficients $\lambda$ and $\mu$. We show that, when…
We consider a range of geometric stability problems for hypersurfaces of spaceforms. One of the key results is an estimate relating the distance to a geodesic sphere of an embedded hypersurface with integral norms of the traceless Hessian…
We give a metric characterization of the scalar curvature of a smooth Riemannian manifold, analyzing the maximal distance between $(n+1)$ points in infinitesimally small neighborhoods of a point. Since this characterization is purely in…
Small oscillations of an elastic system of point masses (particles) with a nonlocal interaction are considered. We study the asymptotic behavior of the system, when number of particles tends to infinity, and the distances between them and…
We propose local space-time approximation spaces for parabolic problems that are optimal in the sense of Kolmogorov and may be employed in multiscale and domain decomposition methods. The diffusion coefficient can be arbitrarily rough in…
The uniqueness of equilibrium for a compressible, hyperelastic body subject to dead-load boundary conditions is considered. It is shown, for both the displacement and mixed problems, that there cannot be two solutions of the equilibrium…
The work is devoted to the relaxation limit in larger Besov spaces for compressible Euler equations, which contains previous results in Sobolev spaces and Besov spaces with critical regularity. Such an extension depends on a revision of…
We investigate, in a fairly general setting, the limit of large volume equilibrium Gibbs measures for elasticity type Hamiltonians with clamped boundary conditions. The existence of a quasiconvex free energy, forming the large deviations…
In the setting of CAT(k) spaces, common fixed point iterations built from prox mappings (e.g. prox-prox, Krasnoselsky-Mann relaxations, nonlinear projected-gradients) converge locally linearly under the assumption of linear metric…
We present a new formulation based on the classical Dirichlet-Neumann formulation for interface coupling problems in linearized elasticity. By using Taylor series expansions, we derive a new set of interface conditions that allow our…
We prove that if for relative equilibrium solutions of a generalisation of quasi-homogeneous $n$-body problems the masses and rotation are given, then the minimum distance between the point masses of such a relative equilibrium has a…
We consider pure traction problems and we show that incompressible linearized elasticity can be obtained as variational limit of incompressible finite elasticity under suitable conditions on external loads.
Recently a restriction ("quantum inequality-type relation") on the (renormalized) energy density measured by a static observer in a "globally static" (ultrastatic) spacetime has been formulated by Pfenning and Ford for the minimally coupled…
We construct a finite element approximation of a strain-limiting elastic model on a bounded open domain in $\mathbb{R}^d$, $d \in \{2,3\}$. The sequence of finite element approximations is shown to exhibit strong convergence to the unique…
We are concerned with the well-posedness of linear elliptic systems posed on $\mathbb{R}^d$. The concrete problem of interest, for which we require this theory, arises from the linearization of the equations of anisotropic finite…
We address an optimal reachability problem for a planar manipulator in a constrained environment. After introducing the optmization problem in full generality, we practically embed the geometry of the workspace in the problem, by…
We say that a metric space $X$ is $(\epsilon,G)$-homogeneous if $G<Iso(X)$ is a discrete group of isometries with $diam(X/G)<\epsilon$.\ A sequence of $(\epsilon_i,G_i)$-homogeneous spaces $X_i$ with $\epsilon_i\to0$ is called a sequence of…
